CARDINAL WUERL
NORTH CATHOLIC HIGH
SCHOOL PREPARES THE
FUTURE WORKFORCE
During the fall of 2015, with a generous
grant from the Heinz Endowments,
Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School
(CWNC) created a Career Development
Program. Under the guidance of Jennifer
Parsons, Program Manager, CWNC began
several initiatives aimed at increasing career
exploration and self-awareness for the entire
high school, beginning in 9th grade.
“This program has the potential to
support and advance industry and economic
development in the greater Pittsburgh area
for years to come,” says Luke Crawford,
principal of CWNC. “We are excited to be at
the forefront of this initiative. As part of our
mission as a Catholic school, we are proud
to offer these opportunities to a wide range
of students from diverse backgrounds and
various academic levels.”
In order to help with career research and
growth, students will be expected to create
a Career Action Plan that will be monitored
throughout their entire high school
experience. These plans will be used to aid
students in the following areas: determining
what starting salaries are, what majors are
suitable for their career interest, researching
school cost of attendance, attending miniworkshops, learning self-awareness and
etiquette skills, drafting resumes and cover
letters and taking part in job shadowing
opportunities as well as a mock interview.
The program also aims to connect with
local companies and employers to create
a vast network of resources available to all
students at CWNC.
